You can’t Get These Hands if Braun Strowman can’t give them, and you can’t lose to him if he can’t fight. Baron Corbin certainly put himself in the position to defeat Strowman and seize the permanent General Manager job by default when he engineered the maiming of The Monster Among Men in a Six-Man Tag Team Elimination Match orchestrated by Stephanie McMahon.

Corbin’s team played the scenario perfectly, whittling Strowman’s squad down to The Monster after securing eliminations via Claymore (Finn Bálor) and count-out (Elias, who ill-advisedly turned his attention to Lio Rush on the outside and wandered into a Spear from Bobby Lashley). When Strowman threatened to run the table, Drew McIntyre brought out a steel chair and went to work, dismantling The Gift of Destruction with the weapon until Corbin performed the final touch of a prolonged beating outside the ring by smashing the steel steps atop Strowman’s right arm while Lashley held him down, shattering his elbow in the process. (The technical outcome was a no-contest). It’s early in the game, but that permanent GM position might just be Baron Corbin’s for the taking.

Braun Strowman gets a chance for retribution against his Survivor Series teammates in a Six-Man Elimination Tag Team Match.
